On Christmas day, Tangcheng's upper class held another banquet, but this time An Xing didn't go to the banquet at all.
"Don't think I don't know, this kind of gathering before Christmas is all about socializing. If I go, I will definitely be dragged and chatted by various people again."
An Xing sat on the sofa, refusing to attend the Christmas banquet with his father, mother, and brother.
An Zhaoming wanted to persuade his son again.
"Although you need to socialize, don't you still have your brother? Just follow your brother and be a mascot. If you feel bored, go eat small cakes. Otherwise, don't you want to stay at home alone?"
An Rong didn't refute, and acquiesced to the little tail.
The young man raised his chest proudly, triumphantly.
"Who said I want to stay at home alone? I want to go up the mountain with my brother Shen to see the stars!"
An's family: ...
It never occurred to me that the little idiot planned to go on a date for Christmas!
So in the end, the An family bitterly participated in the Christmas banquet, pushing glasses and changing glasses in the banquet hall, socializing hard with others.
The little idiot stayed at home comfortably, waiting for Lu Tianchen to pick him up the mountain to watch the stars.
Hateful Lu Tianchen, the thief who steals cubs will never die!
An Rong clinked glasses with Xiao Yi and Chen Bai, thinking expressionlessly.
"So, Xingzai and Lu Tianchen went to the mountains to see the stars?"
The corner of Xiao Yi's mouth twitched, and he exchanged a glance with Chen Bai, seeing the same meaning in the other's eyes.
Let's just say that Lu Tianchen had mischievous intentions towards the cute star cub, and it was true.
Obviously he was the one who was rescued by Xingzimei, but he couldn't develop anything.Xiao Yi thought sourly.
An Rong was also a little listless.Although this was not the first time that the three of them attended a banquet without An Xing, neither he nor the An family couple were used to it.
It's not that I'm not used to attending banquets, it's just that I'm not used to it, and the family is not neat and tidy.
It turned out that he had already recognized himself as a member of the An family, and also regarded An Xing as his younger brother.
An Rong was thinking about life when Chen Bai suddenly pushed his arm.
"Hey, is that your second uncle's family? Why are they here too?"
An Rong was taken aback, and followed Chen Bai's instructions to look over, and saw An Zhaoyuan appearing at the entrance of the banquet hall with Tan Xiu and An Hao.
His face sank instantly.
This banquet is not just anyone that can come in. Those who get the invitation letter must at least fully own a company under their name, and it is a company with good performance and a name in the industry. Only then can they bring their families to the banquet .
An Zhaoyuan was obviously kicked out by Anning Jewelry, why was he able to come to today's banquet?
An Rong put down his wine glass and wanted to go over, but was stopped by Chen Bai.
"So many people are staring at you, let me inquire for you."
An Rong paused, seeing the young man blinking peach blossom eyes and smiling at him, then said in a low voice:
"Thank you, Bro."
Chen Bo raised his eyebrows.
"You're welcome, maybe we have something to trouble you too."
An Rong and Xiao Yi stayed where they were, watched Chen Bai walk towards other people, and started talking with them.An Rong looked around the banquet hall and found An Zhaoming and Shen Ying.The two were talking with someone, and they didn't notice the An Zhaoyuan family who walked in.
Not long after, Chen Bo came back and said to An Rong and Xiao Yi:
"Your second uncle and his family represent Weiqing Jewelry."
An Rong was a little surprised, but also a little clear.
When Su Yiran stole An Xing's design draft, the An family suspected that Weiqing jewelry was related to An's second wife.Just then.An Hao hid behind Su Yiran, and they couldn't find any definite evidence.
However, after An Hao's fraudulent performance in Anning Jewelry was exposed, the second room of An's family seemed to have no fear at all, and no longer concealed many things, and now he represented Weiqing Jewelry in a grandiose manner, attending the banquet.
An Rong narrowed his eyes, apologized to Xiao Yi and Chen Bai, and walked towards his parents.
At this time, An Zhaoyuan's family also walked in front of An's couple.
"Brother, why didn't you bring Xingxing, only Rongrong?"
Seeing An Zhaoyuan, An Zhaoyuan's face turned cold.Hearing his younger brother's words, he just said indifferently.
"He already has an appointment."
"Kids, what's the appointment for Christmas? Are you hanging out with your messy friends again?"
An Zhaoyuan said with a smile.
"You can't let Xing Xing learn to fail."
"Heh..." An Zhaoming smiled, and said lightly, "Xingxing went out with that child Tianchen. Do you think Tianchen will teach Xingxing to be bad?"
An Zhaoyuan's expression changed, only to realize that Lu Tianchen didn't come today.
He couldn't help gritting his teeth with hatred, but he couldn't say that Lu Tianchen was a mess, and his face immediately turned ugly.
A family of three, An Zhaoyuan was gagged, An Hao wanted to find a place for his father, but at this time An Rong had already walked over, stood in front of him, and looked over indifferently.Coupled with the majesty of the uncle An Zhaoming in the past, An Hao couldn't say anything at all.
Seeing this, Tan Xiu could only smooth things over.
"We all know what a good boy Xing Xing is. This kid has always been well-behaved. Even if he goes out to play, nothing will happen to him. Zhaoyuan is just worried about Xing Xing."
These words are just to give everyone a step down. After all, today is a banquet, so it is not appropriate to make a fuss.But what everyone didn't expect was that after Tan Xiu finished speaking, a female voice sounded coldly.
"When our Xing Xing goes out, what can happen? Second brother, younger siblings, as elders, you should wish our Xing Xing to go in and out safely. Talking about worrying about Xing Xing's accident, I don't understand it!"
An Rong paused for a moment, feeling that her mother's current state was very similar to a moment not long ago.
By the way, that time when Tan Xiu came to sow discord, Shen Ying also showed the same expression, like an irritated lioness.
Tan Xiu was also taken aback, as if she didn't expect her words to make Shen Ying angry.
Her complexion was a little ugly, but she didn't want to make a fuss, so she could only smile reluctantly.She could even feel mocking glances from other people around her looking at her.
Seeing that his family could not gain any advantage, An Zhaoyuan made a decisive decision, pulled the woman, and hurried away from here.
Now he can see that his elder brother's family probably already know a lot of things they are doing behind the scenes, and they are very angry, even the brothers and friends on the surface are unwilling to pretend to be with them.
Walking to a corner and distracting his son, An Zhaoyuan asked Tan Xiu:
"Have you cleaned up the tail of your brother's affairs?"
Tan Xiu's complexion changed, and she insisted: "I don't understand what you are talking about."
If in the past, Tan Xiu put on a cold face, An Zhaoyuan would give his wife some face.But now, he just said coldly:
"It's not that I don't know about those things in your family. It's fine in the past, but it's not what it used to be. Someone is waiting to catch us. If those things are exposed, you should know the consequences."
The woman's complexion changed again and again, and finally gritted her teeth and agreed.
She didn't understand when things went wrong, why she couldn't do what she wanted to do now, and instead attracted so many doubts.
An Xing didn't know what happened in the banquet hall. Not long after Uncle Li sent off his parents and An Rong, Lu Tianchen came to pick him up.
The man looked at the things the boy was carrying in big and small bags, and got out of the car to greet him.
"What did you take?" Lu Tianchen asked suspiciously.
"Aunt Zhang packed it for me, all kinds of snacks and clothes."
An Xing gave things to the man, very flattered.
When Aunt Zhang was packing up, the others seemed to be worried that An Xing would not have enough to eat and wear warmly, so they gesticulated and added a bunch, and there were more and more.
This love from family is really heavy!
Lu Tianchen put his things in the trunk, he didn't say that they were just staying on the mountain for one night, and there was a very well-built homestay, so they wouldn't be short of food or clothing.
He rubbed the boy's head and echoed:
"Uncle An and the others are very thoughtful. They really care about you."
An Xing blinked, looking at the man's serious appearance of flattering from the air, he wanted to laugh a little.
He pushed his forehead against the man's head, and said sweetly:
"Brother Shen, you are also very kind to me!"
The man withdrew his hand, his ears turned red.
It was getting dark at this time, and no matter how late it was, the road up the mountain would be difficult, so the two of them stopped talking.An Xing got into the car, fastened his seat belt seriously, and Lu Tianchen sat in the driver's seat.
The car slid slowly into the night.
It is winter now, the weather is dry and sunny, because it is a festival, there are many people on the street, and the road is somewhat congested.By the time the car got on the highway, it was already completely dark.
Probably because of the holiday, there was a traffic jam even on the highway, and there were red lights ahead.Fortunately, they planned to live on the mountain tonight, as long as they arrived safely, there was no need to rush.
An Xing browsed the campus network forum for a while, and found that the few fanarts he was chasing hadn't been updated, so he locked the screen in boredom.
He looked at the traffic jam in front of him, Lu Tianchen was driving just now so he couldn't be bothered, and now he just happened to be able to chat.
The young man said mysteriously, "Brother Shen, do you feel that father and brother seem to be hiding something from me recently?"
Lu Tianchen paused slightly: "What did you hide from you?"
"I don't know, that's why I asked you, you help me think about it." An Xing poked at the man, "I always feel that they are a bit mysterious recently, and they always avoid me and my mother to talk in secret."
Lu Tianshen felt a little guilty, because he was also one of the people who lied to the boy.
What An Xing and An Rong had wronged at the beginning was obviously problematic, and it was related to An's second wife.As for the couple in the second bedroom of An's family, neither of them must be innocent.
If Tan Xiu really swapped the two children on purpose, then she monitored An Rong for 20 years, and An Zhaoyuan didn't know the behavior of the person next to him at all?
And An Zhaoyuan, where did he get the funds to control Weiqing Jewelry behind his back?
Therefore, in the last half month, they have been checking the funds of An Zhaoyuan and Tan Xiu, and they are still looking for the key witness, Brother Hai.
Lu Tianshen has been cooperating with the An family and the Shen family on these matters and has been exchanging information.As for An Rong...it was probably because An Zhaoming led him to study, so he looked mysterious.
But Lu Tianchen didn't tell An Xing about this.On the one hand, this little idiot has a shallow mind, if he finds out, he will easily startle the snake.On the other hand, they didn't want the boy to know that the two children had been swapped on purpose.
If it was someone else, maybe at a certain moment they would feel very happy to have been exchanged and enjoy the life of a wealthy young master for 20 years, but they all knew An Xing - he would not be happy, only sad and angry.
This made them not know how to speak the truth, so they simply concealed it tacitly.
"Maybe it's almost New Year's Eve, so I have a surprise for you?"
Lu Tianchen followed the slowly moving traffic ahead and smiled at the boy.
"What about you? Do you want to prepare something for the New Year?"
Hey, it seems to make sense.
An Xing shook his head.
After all, it was An Rong's first New Year back home, and An Rong still had to take on the family's burdens, so it made sense for him and his father to prepare for the New Year together.
"You're right, I have to prepare a New Year's gift for my brother too!"
The boy's fighting spirit instantly became high, and he clenched his fists.
Lu Tianchen: ...
No, he just made up an excuse... Forget it, tell An Rong, let them think about the New Year's gift by the way.
Putting this matter aside, An Xing continued to chat with Lu Tianchen, muttering non-stop.
The traffic flow moved slowly, and soon they passed the most congested place.It turned out that there was a car accident here, three cars collided in a row, and the car in the middle was deformed by the collision.
Lu Tianchen's driver's seat was close to the scene of the accident, he shifted his gaze slightly, and frowned.The scene was a bit tragic, and bloodstains around could still be vaguely seen.He drove away from here and found that there was still a congestion point ahead, so he continued to stop and wait.
Then he realized that An Xing seemed to have not spoken for a while.Even seeing the scene of the accident, there was no sound.
The man noticed something was wrong, turned sideways, and suddenly frowned.
The young man huddled in the co-driver's seat, as if he had encountered something extremely frightening, his hands tightly clutching the seat belt, his face pale.
"Star? What's wrong with you?!"
"Don't think I don't know, this kind of gathering before Christmas is all about socializing. If I go, I will definitely be dragged and chatted by various people again."
An Xing sat on the sofa, refusing to attend the Christmas banquet with his father, mother, and brother.
An Zhaoming wanted to persuade his son again.
"Although you need to socialize, don't you still have your brother? Just follow your brother and be a mascot. If you feel bored, go eat small cakes. Otherwise, don't you want to stay at home alone?"

So in the end, the An family bitterly participated in the Christmas banquet, pushing glasses and changing glasses in the banquet hall, socializing hard with others.
The little idiot stayed at home comfortably, waiting for Lu Tianchen to pick him up the mountain to watch the stars.
Hateful Lu Tianchen, the thief who steals cubs will never die!
An Rong clinked glasses with Xiao Yi and Chen Bai, thinking expressionlessly.
"So, Xingzai and Lu Tianchen went to the mountains to see the stars?"
The corner of Xiao Yi's mouth twitched, and he exchanged a glance with Chen Bai, seeing the same meaning in the other's eyes.
Let's just say that Lu Tianchen had mischievous intentions towards the cute star cub, and it was true.
Obviously he was the one who was rescued by Xingzimei, but he couldn't develop anything.Xiao Yi thought sourly.
